What Do you guys use for auto top off?  I saw this on BRS: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/jbj-a-t-o-automatic-auto-top-off-system-water-level-controller.html
It seems a bit fancy, let me know what you all use.

I asked the same question a few weeks ago :)

http://www.ohioreef.com/index.php?topic=10502.0

I myself am going with the JBJ ... It MAY have problems, but I have been toping off by hand and I dont want to jump into an expensive top off that may have its own issues :)

I went with the Tunze Osmolator and couldn't be happier.  It has an optical sensor along with a backup float switch for extra safety.  The JBJ just have float switches.  While I have heard plenty of good things about JBJ, I have also heard some not so good things while I have never personally heard any complaints about the Tunze Osmolator.  You also would need to buy a pump.  You get exactly what you pay for in terms of quality.  Good luck!

If you just want to do an electronic float switch system like the JBJ why don't you just use one from autotopoff.com I do believe thats the website
